Using Windows XP, I have encrypted my 8 giga byte data on
the partition other than operating system partition (a
partition on which Windows XP system files located). After
encryption, due to some problems Windows was unable to
boot. I formatted the system partition and reinstalled the
Windows XP. Now system is working properly but I can not
open the encrypted files. What I should do to decrypt the
encrypted files. All of my encrypted data is very
important; I have to restore it by every means. I am using
my computer as a single PC, there is no Networking.
